This past February, WWE held its Elimination Chamber PLE in Perth, Australia; the company’s first Premium Live Event in the country in over five years. The show ended with Rhea Ripley standing tall in her home country, and fans may not have to wait another five years to see a major WWE event down under.
WWE and the Cook Government are in negotiations for a potential return to Perth in 2025, according to the West Australian. While not confirmed, the expectation would be that the show would take place in the second half of next year, if these talks prove successful.
Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti added that the local government is consistently seeking unique and exclusive attractions to bring visitors to the state.
“We’re constantly pursuing these types of unique and exclusive events that attract visitors to our beautiful State, particularly ones that we know are incredibly popular like UFC and WWE.”
WWE’s reported openness to hosting another event in Australia underlines the promotion’s approach to hosting major events outside of the United States. 2024 has seen events hosted in Australia, Canada, Scotland, France, and Germany, while WWE has also hosted events in England and Wales in recent years. With continued efforts to bring WrestleMania to the UK and events being teased in countries yet to host a PLE, it’s clear that WWE’s appeal and the appeal of major events could continue to extend past North America in the years to come. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on WWE’s Premium Live Events, both those in the United States and beyond.
